ADRIA ?
MITCHELL & TEAL'C
The scene is the SGC Gate room. Present are Col. Carter, Col. Mitchell and Teal'c. Mitchell and Teal'c are geared up and ready to go off world
"So, We're the last to go?" asks Mitchell
"Looks that way" Carter answers
"Why so much gear?" Mitchell asks
"Rya'c and Ishta let us know that the village you would be going to is some distance from the gate" is Carters response
Teal'c adds "They will be there to guide us Col. Mitchell"
"Ishta, scary, but nice" Mitchell admits
"The latest intel we have is just as cryptic as the original. Sightings of a woman fitting Adria's description traveling with another woman both claiming she's not Adria. The report states they were both seen unconscious and naked at the foot of the stargate on p-1953." Carter explains
"Was not Daniel Jackson found under similar circumstances after the ancient ascended expelled him and returned him to human form" Teal'c states
"Your kidding!" Mitchell yelps
"I thought you said you'd read every report ever written about the Star Gate, While you were recovering from the injuries you suffered at Antarctica" Carter asks
"Well let's not forget I read some of those while heavily medicated" Mitchell reminds
"Alright, I'll give you a little leeway on that; Anyway Teal'c is correct, those are exactly the circumstances Daniel was found in after being expelled." Carter says
"Are we assuming that the other woman could be Morgan le Fay?" Mitchell asks
"It is difficult to understand why they would remain together even if they were expelled at the same time" Teal'c says
Mitchell agrees "You can say that again; We left them at each others throats in an "Ascended Beings Death Match""
"They were apparently discovered and summarily thrown out" Carter surmises
"Some kind of Zen Stockholm Syndrome" Mitchell says
"If Adria no longer has the Ori to protect her and Morgan no longer has being ascended to help her, so it's probably a some kind of mutual cease fire" Carter assumes
"They appear to no longer be a threat to anyone, not even each other, then why are we pursuing these leads." Teal'c asks
"Information, Mainly, We feel they could fill in a lot of the blank spots we have about certain events that transpired during her reign of terror. We hope it might bring closure to those people who have no idea whatever happened to missing loved ones" Carter says
"Indeed" Teal'c concurs
"You don't suppose they're still…" Mitchell begins
"No! " Carter interrupts
"Hey! They're both very attractive ladies; I can hope can't I" Mitchell responds
"Nice try; We've even packed jump suits that should fit them; IF you find them. At least we know it would be very hard to hide weapons under those." Carter says
"Well let's get this show on the road " Mitchell says
Looking at the control room window at Walter
"Dial up p-1953 Sgt." Carter gives the order
"Yes Ma'am" Walter obeys
The gate starts revolving, chevrons begin locking and a wormhole is established
"Be careful there are still a lot of people who would shoot first if they recognize Adria" Carter advises
"Without this new intel I might have been one of them" Mitchell admits
With that Mitchell and Teal'c walk up the ramp and into the event horizon
The scene switches to P-1953; the gate is activated with Rya'c and Ishta waiting near by as Mitchell and Teal'c exit the event horizon.
Teal'c exchanges embraces with them
"It is good to see you father" says Rya'c
"As it is you my son and You Ishta" Teal'c answers
"Welcome Teal'c, I only wish it were under better circumstances" says Ishta
"Well if what we're told is true it's no big deal" Mitchell says
"Indeed; Have we any current information on the whereabouts of the one believed to be Adria"
"No father; I felt it imperative to inform you of our progress" Rya'c responds
"Very well ; How far is it to the last village they were seen?" Teal'c asks
"It is two days journey to the south of here" Ishta says
"Two days! I knew we should've kept the ATV" whines Mitchell
"I do not believe the Generals would have seen it that way Col. Mitchell" says Teal'c
"You really have a way of stating the obvious big guy; Ya know we could use the MALP to carry our gear" Mitchell suggests
"The MALP must remain in close proximity to the star gate for us to maintain radio…" Teal'c starts
Teal'c doesn't even finish before Mitchell cuts him off
"Yes, Yes ,Yes I know; Man I wish my conscience wasn't so much bigger than I am; Alright let's get a move on, are there any villages between here and there that would put us up for the night? Mitchell asks
"I am afraid not Col. Mitchell" Ishta confirms
"I was afraid you were going to say that; Maybe we should call home and request more provisions and a bike or two" Mitchell suggests
"Col. Mitchell we are told that the woods are full of game and ripe with vegetation the entire trip we will want for nothing" Rya'c says
Col. Mitchell grimaces "Oh Boy I can't wait; I think I'll leave the meal planning in your capable hands young man" Mitchell offers
"You will not be disappointed Col." says Rya'c
"Alright, Lead the way" Mitchell waves
With that the foursome begin the two day journey to the south. As the sun starts to set they decide to make camp next to a babbling brook for the night
"Ok, Great Hunter while Ishta and I set up camp you and your dad can find us a main course" Mitchell offers
"I am a very competent huntress Col. Mitchell" Ishta insists
"I meant no disrespect; I just thought the big guy would enjoy some quality time with his son since they don't get to see each other that much" Mitchell explains
You are correct, it was silly of me not to realize your intentions; I will be glad to help you set up your camp while Teal'c and Rya'c enjoy a hunt together" Ishta submits
"I thank you both for the opportunity. Come Rya'c we have little light remaining" says Teal'c
"Yes father" says Rya'c
Teal'c and Rya'c head out to acquire dinner while Mitchell and Ishta begin to assemble the tents
Mitchell and Ishta barely have enough time to get the tents assembled, before Teal'c and Rya'c return with a couple of small furry creatures similar to rabbits
"I sure hope you guys know how to prep and cook those things; I lost 20 pounds during wilderness survival training" Mitchell says
"Then Rya'c and I will do so, while you prepare the root plants we
were able to dig up" Teal'c offers
With that Rya'c hands Mitchell a bundle of plants he's carrying on his back, which leaves Mitchell as confused as ever
"Did I tell you the only way I survived wilderness training was the dozen or so snickers I smuggled in my canteen?" Mitchell admits
"Come Col. Mitchell I will help you clean the vegetation by the brook and then you will learn how to prep them (if I use the word correctly) for cooking" offers Ishta
"The one time I forget to pack the "Snickers"" moans Mitchell
"Ahem!" Ishta scoffs
"Yes, Coming" says Mitchell
Teal'c and Rya'c prepare their catch for cooking while Mitchell and Ishta clean and peel the root plant
"I think you will now be able to finish these while I start a fire to cook it all" says Ishta
Mitchell thinks about talking his way out of it when he remembers the "scary " part of nice
"No problemo" says Mitchell
After all the preparations are complete the meat is cooked over a make shift spit and they all enjoy a hot meal
"Not bad actually; the veggie's kind of tasted like turnips" says Mitchell
The meat reminded me of Scuzzies" says Rya'c
"Scuzzies?" asks Mitchell
"They are a small rodent indigenes to our home planet, that burrow into the dung piles of much larger creatures then eat their way out" Teal'c answers
"Geees! I'm sure glad you waited until we were finished to impart that little tidbit" Mitchell squirms
"Father actually ;what did you call it?" Rya'c queries
"Flipped a coin" says Teal'c
"Yes, flipped a coin to decide whether to tell you before or after eating""I'm going to want that coin so I can frame it when we get back" says Mitchell
"Indeed" says Teal'c
"This is probably a silly question, but what are the sleeping arrangements? We have 2 two man tents" states Mitchell
"Not to worry Col. Mitchell; it is tradition for Rya'c and I to sleep under the stars" responds Teal'c
"You are not afraid that I might bite are you?" teases Ishta
"That would have probably been the least of my worries" says Mitchell
"Then we probably set up one tent to many" Ishta quips
"No, no I think 2 will be just fine for now" Mitchell says
Ishta walks toward her tent passing Col. Mitchell on the way and whispers as she passes him "Pity"
Teal'c and Rya'c smile as they lay out their bedding and Col. Mitchell just bids everyone good night and slips into his tent. Teal'c stokes the fire one more time before laying down
"Sleep well my son" says Teal'c
"You too father" answers Rya'c
